If they are good quality towels that's not expensive... you can get cheap ones in Ikea and other places but they are thin and they go hard very quickly.
I get John Lewis towels in their sale.. usually 50% off....they last.

I buy towels from Dunelm - Egyptian cotton. Great quality, last forever.

Asda Egyptian cotton plain bath sheets are £16, perfectly fine.

A few years ago, a stall on our market had bath towels at 3 for £10. I bought some, liked them and went back twice more. They`re still looking (and feeling ) good. Sadly, he`s stopped selling them now, vape stuff took over.

Yes, I only bought two sets from there, two bath sheets and two hand towels but they are the best we've had.

TK Maxx are cheaper for well-known brands too; Christie towels are good if they have them in stock.

I also buy Egyptian cotton towels in Dunelm, they're excellent quality and have remained very fluffy. Good choice of colours too.

Towels are something I don't think it makes sense to skimp on. You use them daily after all.

My towels have lasted for years, and are not threadbare. An absolute bargain.
Although it seems a lot to pay, the cost per use is very little.

I have bought Christie towels at discounted prices from Brand Alley. If you register with them they will send you regular emails with current offers but they seem to have Christie towels regularly.

Christie towels are excellent, but Dunelm Egyptian Cotton are very good and a lovely range of colours. The EC bathrobes are very heavy though.

Nearly all my towels are from charity shops. I'm sure some of them were posh once cos they're all very long lasting.

I don’t think eight towels for £100 is expensive. That’s £12.50 each.

I’m sure you can pick up towels for less but you may not be able to get them all matching at that price.

Matching towels! ?

IKR, Baggs! grin

Yes, it's reasonable.

Do you have to replace them all at once, 62Granny?

I look at my lined cupboard and think I will never have to buy a towel of any sort again. I do not where they all came from .

You get what you pay for, cheap towels, cheap quality.

Look at the prices of towels across a range of suppliers - enough have been mentioned here. You will soon find out what the price of a decent quality towel is.

Possibly it is some time since you last bought towels and you have lost track of how much thye really cost.

Another JL fan, (formerly M & S). I once bought some towels from Next but I wouldn’t recommend them.
I like T K Maxx for 1000TC sheets so, upon your recommendation, I’ll have a look at towels there.
